school’s out

It’s finally here…summer! It’s been three weeks since I’ve posted…but who’s counting? Anyways, things have been quite busy with work, a trip to LA and lots of spring birthdays. Oh, and who can forget my obsession with The Voice? I’m a die hard American Idol fan but I need something to keep me going during their down season. I was rooting for Michelle Chamuel all the way! She’s wonderfully awkward and seems like a genuinely nice person, PLUS she’s got amazing chops.

While I was at work I noticed a lot of kids just hanging around when school should be in session. Then I realized that school’s already out! Which explains why the new Superman movie, Man of Steel, was sold out at three of the theaters that we attempted to buy tickets from last Friday. We were finally able to watch the movie but I have to say that I’m not so sure it was worth all the effort. There was one extremely long fight scene that seemed to go on for an eternity. I won’t spoil it for you but if you watch it (or if you’ve already watched it) you’ll probably know exactly what I’m talking about. It got the point where I actually said out loud, “REALLY? Are we really going to go one more time around?” Disclaimer: I’m not a hardcore fan of the Superman comics and I don’t know all the back story so maybe there’s a reason for it. In any case, I wish I had seen This Is The End instead. I’ve heard hilarious things about that movie and a great interview on NPR with Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg. Can’t wait to watch it this weekend!
